        We might as well change the baseline for ADHD since technology has hammered everyone’s dopamine receptors

        Just because a sizable part of the population has it, doesn’t make it any less legitimate. So sick and tired of the stigma around ADHD. I’m tired of defending it

        pretty much.

        people who have it seem to be convinced everyone else has it. it’s a cognitive bias. just like white folks think racism isn’t real because they don’t experience it.

      How fix. If this is so much effort, imagine the effort for actually solving the problem

        It’s kind of a running joke that if you can get yourself through the diagnosis gauntlet

        • sorting it with insurance
        • finding a provider
        • waiting the months for the appointment
        • dealing with insurance
        • then doing it all over again for the psychiatrist to actually get the prescription
        • and then again for the therapist (to wrangle the realization that your entire life is ADHD lol)

        is something only a non-ADHDer can manage. Get someone close to you on board who can help keep you accountable, and run the gauntlet mate. Check out [email protected].
